Our Top 5 Best Dressed at the 2026 Oscars Red Carpet

Ah, the good old Oscars red carpet, where the talent, their assistants, and a terrifying number of stilettos collide. Where dreams meet designers, and occasionally, designers meet disaster. The Internet’s never-ending fuel. And while everyone seems deeply committed to spotting the latter, we’ll focus on the former.

The red carpet this year looked like a battlefield for birds. Feathers were front and center, on the stage too. Presenting apparently earns you a slice of Gucci, and Moore had earned hers, starring in Demna’s short film Tiger and gracing Milan’s front row. In LA, however, she arrived like a siren, wearing a black-and-green gown, completed by iridescent feathers and what almost looked like fish scales. Power of the Dolby theatre.

Law Roach

The perfect Hollywood night for a stylist with an archive that only opens for very specific functions. Enter Roach, deciding it was high time to dust off that Alexander McQueen AW 1997 jacket, DIY golden patterns shimmering just enough to justify a Chanel clutch that could double as a half-read book. Those hands won’t even rest once they’re off Zendaya.

Odessa A’zion

Self-styling for a red carpet sounds like a risk most wouldn’t take, but then again, most people aren’t A’zion. The Oscars got to see that confidence up close. She chose a black, embellished Valentino dress from Alessandro Michele’s Spring 2026 Couture, which, it turns out, looks even better with roomy pants underneath and necklaces stacked.

Anna Wintour

To no one’s surprise, Wintour makes our list. The black-and-white Dior ensemble was, predictably, flawless, but that wasn’t enough for our eyes. Lucky for us, she made a cameo on stage presenting the award for Best Costume Design, complete with a cheeky The Devil Wears Prada nod. Almost forgot Hathaway’s first name isn’t Emily. Fun fact, the real Emily was watching live.

Vittoria Ceretti

That night alone makes styling a nightmare. How do you dress not just for the Oscars, but for your award-show debut as a couple with Leonardo DiCaprio? Ceretti does it in custom Alaïa by Pieter Mulier, inspired by Spring 2026. Long, fitted, red, and maybe even bulletproof in some places.
